“They will not be able to break through the concrete shell of the reactor, but they will definitely damage transformers, turbines and other equipment necessary for the safety of the nuclear power plant.
“An accident can happen like at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant or the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Russian generals - think again!”
He called on them: “Don't create conditions for a new Chernobyl. Radiation does not know nationalities, one does not spare anyone!”

Why Russia’s Invasion Is Worrying BeijingChina attempted to distance itself from Russia as the scale of the invasion becomes clear, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday saying it was “absolutely imperative” for all sides to exercise restraint to prevent the conflict from “getting out of control.”
“China has been following the evolution of the Ukraine issue, and the present situation is something China does not want to see,” Wang Yi said in phone calls with top diplomats from the U.K., France and the European Union, according to a readout from the official Xinhua News Agency.
“The safety of ordinary people’s lives and properties should be effectively safeguarded, and in particular, large-scale humanitarian crises have to be prevented,” the report cited him as saying.
The comments came shortly after President Xi Jinping made his first remarks on the crisis, urging Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a phone call to solve the issue through talks with the Ukrainians. Putin later said he’s ready to authorize talks with Ukraine on a possible neutral status for the country, but it’s unclear when or if they will take place.
China has stood by Russia over the past month as tensions escalated, with Xi hosting Putin at the Olympic Games in Beijing and declaring their friendship had “no limits” in a lengthy statement.
China also endorsed Putin’s security concerns over the expansion of the NATO alliance and abstained Friday from a vote on a United Nations Security Council draft resolution, vetoed by Russia, that condemned the Ukraine invasion. Still, China’s statements since the invasion show an increasing discomfort, particularly with reports of heavy fighting in the capital Kyiv and other cities.

The minehunting boats "Sulzbach-Rosenberg" and "Homburg," the minesweeper "Siegburg" and the tender "Elbe" departed for the Baltic Sea on Monday.
